It’s Spreading: Another Democratic Convention Just Rejected Superdelegates Hugh Wharton | May 16, 2016

The Alaska Democratic Convention passed by largely without incident, particularly when compared to the most recent fiasco in Nevada, but they did adopt a formal resolution urging the superdelegates in the state to conform to the will of the voters.

The resolution also states that the Alaska delegation “hereby invites other states’ Democratic Parties to join Alaska in pursuit of this reform,” and it further asks the national convention to either abolish the superdelegate system entirely or to otherwise force unpledged delegates to vote in accordance with their state’s vote results.

Although the resolution pushes for an end to the superdelegate system on the local and national level and was formally adopted by the delegation, all parts of the resolution are non-binding.

In what many called an unusually large state convention, the Alaska Democratic Party this weekend chose its delegates for the national convention in July, amid a clash over concerns by some Bernie Sanders fans that the head of the Democratic National Committee has improperly taken steps to benefit Hillary Clinton.

The anger over Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz was highlighted when more than 25 Sanders supporters walked out of her keynote speech Saturday night at the Dena’ina Civic and Convention Center in Anchorage, though they left in a trickle while a huge crowd remained to hear the Florida congresswoman and DNC chair call for unity among Democrats to stop the presumptive GOP nominee, Donald Trump.

At the nearby Egan Center, Sanders supporters danced at an event organized to protest Wasserman Schultz's speech. The event, attended by more than 200 through the night, was organized in part by Ed Cullinane. A member of the state central committee from an Anchorage House district, Cullinane supported efforts at the state’s three-day convention, but said he couldn’t tolerate Wasserman Schultz's “unethical actions.”

The event featured a prerecorded televised appearance by Sanders' wife, Jane Sanders, who shocked the crowd when she introduced her husband on screen.
